He stopped, picked it up and took it home and froze it.<br /><br />The next Spring he thawed it out, took it out and through it on the road in east central Missouri next [next to his house], then convinced the local newspaper that it was solid evidence that armadillos were migrating north.<br /><br />The story got picked up, briefly, by the AP and the St Louis newspapers. heh.JorgXMcKiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509568525555189690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31956135.post-22709782158311609212007-10-23T02:48:00.000-05:002007-10-23T02:48:00.000-05:00Who would have thunk?

At least it doesn't taste like chicken, like a lot of meat I wouldn't be inclined to taste seems to.<BR/><BR/>I wonder what it smells like, when it's being cooked. Have you tasted it, Sheila?<BR/><BR/>There are no armadillos here. Isn't it kind of strange they would name an armadillo a state animal that carries leprosy? Can you sell a dead one?
